Chapter 1040 A One-Night Stand

Gideon clearly told the driver his address after he and Lena got in the car together.

Lena, always quiet, sat beside him as they made their way back to Gideon's house. Neither of them found it strange.

Upon opening the door, Gideon habitually turned on the lights but was slowly dizzy.

Following closely behind, Lena was stumbled by Gideon, who suddenly halted, causing her to trip and fall to the ground.

But Gideon quickly reacted, swiftly catching her, and both of them ended up falling on the floor.

Gideon held Lena tightly, his nostrils filled with the fragrance emanating from her, and involuntarily swallowed.

Their eyes met.

It was unclear who initiated it, but they soon passionately kissed each other.

They were usually very restrained, but now, they became heated and entangled with each other...

The next morning, Gideon was awakened by the sunlight shining on his face, and the hangover headache made him cover his forehead and gasp for breath. The scenes from last night began flashing back in his mind, like the bar, the car, the doorstep...

Wait!

Gideon abruptly opened his eyes, and in a panicked state, he turned around to see Lena sleeping peacefully beside him.

Last night, he and Lena?!

Gideon, who had lived for over thirty years, experienced panic and disarray for the first time.

He saw the clothes discarded by the bed and intended to put on his own clothes. However, as soon as he reached out his arm, he felt a warm touch around his waist. His whole body froze.

Gideon slowed down his breathing, and even his heartbeat seemed to slow down with it.

Carefully, he tried to move Lena away by holding her wrist.

Just at that moment, Lena woke up.

Lena, feeling that something was off, was shocked and regretful. If she had known that something like this would happen, she would never have agreed to go out for drinks with Gideon! She could never have imagined that something like a one-night stand would happen to her!

Although both of them had already awakened, they remained still in unison, afraid to make any sudden movements.

It was unclear how much time had passed when Lena finally mentally prepared herself. She struggled to say to Gideon, "I know you're awake. Turn around."

Gideon stiffened for a moment before quickly turning away from Lena.

In the quiet room, the sound of getting dressed amplified, making Gideon even more embarrassed.

After putting on her clothes, Lena stared at Gideon's back and said, "It was an accident. Let's forget about it."

Gideon turned around, but Lena had already quickly left the room. By the time he finished dressing and went after her, Lena had vanished.

Gideon looked back at the messy bed, feeling emotionally complicated.

Fortunately, both of them had been busy with work after that, and Gideon never had a chance to see Lena, avoiding the awkwardness between them.

It wasn't until two months later, when Gideon drove past Lena's studio, that he unexpectedly witnessed a middle-aged couple pulling and restraining Lena. Lena looked numb.

This was the first time Gideon saw Lena with such a hopeless expression, and without much thought, he slammed on the brakes, stopped the car in front of them, and quickly got out.
